82.10.1 Areas of Study
Solid Mechanics and Dynamics Mechanical engineers are involved in the design of structures andmechanical components to safely withstand normal working stresses.Manystructures andmachines are also subjected to additional stresses causedbyvibrations, for example, due to the imbalance in a compressor or engine, and these effects can be critical for their safe use. Stress analysis predicts the internal loads in a component and allows the designer to select materials and shapes suitable for the service the component will experience. Traditional materials such as steel and aluminium as well as recently developed materials such as ceramics and fibre-reinforced composites are considered to optimize the component’sperformance.
Thermodynamics Applied thermodynamics is the study of energy conversion from one form to another. A typical application is electricity production. Energy from the combustionof fuels like coal, oil, ornatural gas isused toheat a fluid suchas air or water, and then the fluid is expanded through machinery to produce mechanicalworkanddriveagenerator. Theelectricityproduced is aneasilytransported form of energy that can be used at locations remote to the original energysource.Mechanicalengineerswithaspecializationinthermodynamicsdesign and improve power plants, engines, heat exchangers, and other forms of equipment.Specificexamplesincludeheating,ventilationandairconditioningsystems for living space and industrial processes, use of alternate fuels in engines, and reducing pollution from internal combustion engines.
Design The design process starts with recognizing a need for a new product,device, or industrial process and then carries on to defining the problem to be solved,gatheringnecessaryinformation,performingtherequiredanalysisandoptimization, building prototypes, and evaluating different concepts. There isusually no single correct solution for a given design problem as different designs may all solve the same problem. Some designs are better than others, as they

g
may be lighter or more efficient or cost less, so that by constant refinement and iteration throughout the design process, acceptable designs can be made.
Engineering Management Many engineering graduates spend a significant part of their career asmanagers of plants, companies, or other engineers. Engineering management bridges the gap between engineering and management. These engineers deal with areas such as management of engineering processes, engineering economics,operationsmanagement,qualityimprovement,qualitycontrol,andthe use of computers in business.
82.10.2 Biomedical Option in Mechanical Engineering
Applications of mechanical engineering to biomedical problems range from understanding the intricacies of fluid flows in the heart and lungs to the design of artificial joints, implants, orthopedic devices, andmedical equipment andinstrumentation. Exciting opportunities exist for innovative solutions to numerous health care problems by applying knowledge containedwithin the disciplineof mechanical engineering. Such solutions typically require interdisciplinaryteamsforwhichthebroadbackgroundinfundamentalsobtainedinmechanicalengineeringisanasset.Examplesincludetheever-increasinguseofmechanicalsystems to assist or replace various portions of the anatomy, and the application of system modeling and design methods in areas from diagnosis to aids for rehabilitation.

84.6 Complementary Studies Electives To better understand the role of Engineering within a broader social context, all programs require an element of complementary studies consisting of thehumanities, social sciences, arts, management, engineering economics and communications. Aspects of these topics are covered in mandatory courses, but each program contains complementary studies electives so that students may explore areas of particular interest. Notwithstanding this, the Canadian EngineeringAccreditation Board requires that programs include exposure to
